Miss you Tacqueria Cancun veggie burrito on the corner of 19th and Mission in SF.

You too Papalote fish tacos "super" with extra guacamole (24th and Valencia).

No good mexi in Japan.

Sincerely,

db

Breakfast (pollo asado super burrito) at El Farolito @ 24th and Mission today after coffee at Ritual and before beers at Toronado (and more coffee at Sightglass and more beer at Russian River).

That avocado green sauce is mad heavenly.

B-Dawg, Must spread Rep but AMEN. Take a page out of this guys book kids. He knows what's up!

Where are pictures? NYC does not have this. They have white people re-appropriating this. It is good in a white people re-appropriation kind of way. But it is not this.

i need a good recipe for 'meixcan' style rice

this can be either truly authentic mexican or 'california mexican food'

the one i have now works... well enough but it's not great

Fuck I miss hole in the wall burrito stands. Importing everything and making it yourself just isnt the same

[LandoCal126]

La Taqueria tomorrow(Today) for me, Flicks to follow...

[Mr.Kite]

good looks mass super cocina is quality

all about las cuatro milpas

Las Cuarto Milpas is by far the best "basic" mexican food you can get in SD. I went there all the time. They don't do much that is fancy, but all the basic things like rice and beans are actually really really good there. If you're looking for an epic burrito with 15 different ingredients go elsewhere. But if you're looking for damn good homemade mexican food, this is the place to be.

Beware, at any hour near "lunch" you can expect to wait in a line that can stretch around the block.

I've heard of some burrito joint in Napa valley somewhere, where all the cooks at "The French Laundry" go to religiously.

Anyone have any ideas what it's called.

[selaviso]

been itching for a cali burrito... havent had carne asada fries in a while either.

Think it might be called "La Luna Market."

[selaviso]

carne asada fries from alibertos in temecula. first time there and that shit was so bomb!

so full right now.

[Broke_folk]

^ That's what's up..

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to selaviso again.

If you like Gordo's and are ever in Marin. At the Montecito Shopping center there is a place called Puentez Taqueria. The guy who started it originally came from Gordo's. He has exactly the same ingredients and even the same steamer. I highly recommend the boiled chicken. Also, San Jose Taqueria under the Freeway in San Rafael is prob the most authentic in Marin County.

San Jose Taqueria is insane, when I used to eat meat that was definitely my favorite spot. Unfortunately their vegetarian burritos are pretty limp to me,

you ever check out Picante on the other side of 101 also in San Rafael? is on Francisco Blvd past where Circuit City used to be, I am a big Taqueria Cancun guy in terms of SF and Picante is as good or better I think.

we have this, just not in manhattan.

[Dex_star]

Finally a thread on sufu that feels like home :'[

Favorite spots are ::

-Cactus tacos (my brother put me onto this place in hollywood, cabeza taco w/ avocado + cheese)

-bunch of spots in my area (san fernando valley, eg. taco llamas, rigos, bunch of spots i can only name by what theyre next to [ex. spot next to yum yum donuts in Sylmar),

-albertos (asada fries of course),

-paquito mas (theres probably gonna be some haters but the steak burrito makes my day)

Whats your guys' preferences on meat in a burrito? I used to order lengua + al pastor, but now i get asada + cabeza or lengua + cabeza.. no frijoles por favor... salsa verde

Also, horchata is the best drink in the world, then cream soda.

[drizzle24]

Idk if its been posted, but El Farolitos on the mission in SF is the #@#$.

I pick up an al pastor burrito whenever I'm in the city, good late night eats.

horchata is good (depending), i'm pretty partial to jamaica though

i need a good recipe for 'meixcan' style rice

the one i have now works... well enough but it's not great

there's a few good ones in the bayless books, i can pm you in shorthand once i get back if you still need.

btw hancock park in LA is pretty happening, just came from el atacor #11 - 10 fried potato tacos for $6...

omc you must spill beans on mex joints in the bx!

[debaser]

Marisco's German Taco Truck 3

i can walk to this place in less than 5 minutes, best fish tacos in town

[bentobox]

Was in the 415 last week and hit up Fish Tacos at Papalote on day 1 and Veggie Burrito at Tacqueria Cancun, Extra guac no sour cream on day 2. Twas Glorious!!!

Edit: Horchata at Papalote is bomb.

[kiya]

I think i've had too many beers.

I just looked at debaser's post and thought "oh shit! A Mario Brothers food truck".

[synn]

agree on lolitas, el cotixan, and super sergios in san diego.

anyone in SD ever been to vallartas? its near genesee and balboa in the same square as target and home depot and right across from the el cotixan.

they got buffalo chicken quesadillas. SO GOOD, served with guac and ranch. it's like 6 bucks.

[Servo2000]

the radio advertisement for mama testa's in sd makes me want to kill everybody and the tacos are ridiculously expensive for being totally mediocre but the mojados de carne (basically fried beef tacos in broth) is pretty damn good. almost worth it as well for their salsa.

...on the other hand the prices are insane so even though I'll go for the soup I almost don't want to give them my money just on principle.

[unfuccwittable]

A really excellent taco truck in the Los Angeles area is the one on the corner of Slauson and Figueroa just off the 110 freeway exit. I lived 10 mins away for most of my life and I must say the tacos are top notch. They even hand make their tortillas.

Tacos Mexico is good too. Its a litte taco stand south east of The Standard Hotel downtown.

King Taco is pretty good for a chain of restaurants as well.

[renski]

went to a dank ass ceviche spot in LA.they used oranges instead of lime and their fish tacos had a lot of flavor.. too bad I cannot remember the name of the place.

[wtap dat ass]

East oakland taco truck on 17th and International

BEST tacos in the bay and only $1.25 each!
